Copeland Wins Bar Scholarship

November 12, 2007

Third-year Day student Victor Copeland was awarded a $5,000 scholarship by the California
Bar Foundation this fall.

Copeland, who received his undergraduate degree from UC Davis, was one of 39 law students
selected for their commitment to public service and academic excellence. He has volunteered
in a number of capacities providing one-on-one instruction as a coach, mentor, and
tutor. At McGeorge, he has clerked with the Developmental Disabilities Area Board
III, with a private practitioner specializing in special education law, and with the
Office of Administrative Hearings. Copeland came to law school with the intent to
build a career as an advocate for children with disabilities, with the ultimate goal
of becoming an administrative law judge.
